. Based on institutional data, FGS continue to apply to, and gain admission, to CEASbut are not matriculating at the same rate they did a decade ago. IHE who can strategicallyconnect and support all aspects of the STEM FGS experience could develop a sustainable studentapplicant pool at the same time CGS high school graduate numbers (the pool that historicallyenrolls in CEAS) are decreasing over the next decade. In combination with changing institutionalbarriers to persistence and graduation outcomes, IHE can capitalize on the assets, funds ofknowledge, and the attitude of “no choice but to succeed” that FGS bring to table.

The definition of “remote delivery” institutionally is acourse that meets online, and synchronously. The use of the makerspace was not feasible due tothe close-proximity nature of numerous hands-on activities for as many as 96 students per class,and the provision of multiple shared tools amongst six different classes.

Student responses to open-endedquestions were scored manually by two trained raters in accordance with Grohs et al.’s publishedscoring guide [15]. Scores for each response were assigned and rationales recorded. An initialsample of 20% of the responses were scored individually by each rater. These scores were thencompared across raters to develop a consensus for interpreting student-generated text [16] andscoring guidelines normalized across raters. The remaining 80% of responses were split evenlybetween the two raters. This process required 50 human hours of work.Facilitated ScoringUsing the RStudio and the R Shiny package we import a spreadsheet of the raw text

A common feature of these inductive methods is that questions or problems form thecontext for learning.3 Thus, formative assessments based on questions/problems can play afundamentally important role in student learning. The degree to which homework/activity questions impact student learning can beevaluated by considering them relative to Bloom s taxonom . In order of increasing
